Answer to Question 2
Somatic symptom disorder involves physical symptoms for which, based on current knowledge of physical functioning, there is no adequate explanation. Somatic symptom disorder is considered unintentional because persons with this disorder are not deliberately faking their physical symptoms. Factitious disorders also involve the presence of physical symptoms for which there is no apparent medical cause, but the symptoms are produced intentionally or faked. The motivation for the feigning of physical symptoms is the desire to assume the sick role. Complex psychological variables are assumed to be involved with factitious disorders, and the individual is usually unaware of the motivation for the behavior. Additionally, simulation of illness is induced with no apparent incentive other than attention from medical personnel or others. Malingering involvesis faking a disorder with physical symptoms. In malingering, the physical symptoms are faked, but the motivation is for external incentives, such as economic gain or the avoidance of work or legal responsibilities.
